I had someone ask me the other day if they could make money doing book reviews. When I told him that he could make money online reviewing pretty much anything, he didn’t believe me.
There are so many ways to make money online and doing reviews on books is just one of them. This is also one of the easiest and profitable ways it is done and I want to show you how.
There are thousands upon thousands of books to review and I’m pretty sure you don’t even have the time to read 1% of the books that have been published.
With a market so big, there is no doubt in my mind that you can make a complete living online doing reviews on books.
How so?
If you have no clue as to where we’re at in the world these days, everything is pretty much information based. I’m pretty sure you (yes you) have “Googled” something in your life.
Whether it’s “did Kim Kardashian give birth yet?” or “Are the Golden State Warriors still undefeated?”, we all use the internet to find any type of information.
Just like how we wanted to keep up with the Kardashians, there are people out there that always want to know more about a book before they make their purchase.
This is where you come in
So you’re wondering how you could possibly make money from just reviewing books right? Well here comes the fun part.
Just for providing information on something some other person was interested in, you get rewarded for doing so.
I don’t mean, “hey you, here’s some money for doing a review on this book” either. You pretty much decide who pays you for your work.
Amazon.com Wants to Give You Money
Do you know how many people shop online? Millions upon millions of people shop online every single day and did you know that you can get paid just for referring people to different merchants?
Sites like Amazon and Ebay (just to name a few) will pay you money just for sending people to their sites. Are you seeing how book reviews can be thrown into the mix?
Especially with tablets and all these e-readers being used, people are looking to buy digital copies of books and a lot of the buying is done with just a couple clicks.
Show Them The Way
When people search for reviews on a book they want to read, you being the “review guy/girl” can show them the very best places to get their books.
Just a simple “buy now” button will do the trick. Best part about all this, is the fact that you don’t own a single product!
To top it off, you don’t have to deal with any shipping or returns for that matter. Your job is simply just to send them to the site where they can get their book and that is about it.
In Case You Didn’t Know This, Product Reviews are BIG!
Product reviews are a big thing on the internet and people are making a killing doing nothing but telling people about certain products and books are one of them.
Yes, people make money doing product reviews and some are making $10,000 + (every month) just for their efforts. I have a couple of review sites and I too make a living online, thanks to the internet.
When you do your review of these books, you also get the opportunity to show them where to get the best deals and where to get them.
So How Do You Get Paid?
The very second they click on your affiliate link, you are stored in their cookies. I don’t mean you actual body, but your affiliate link.
Another cool thing about this whole affiliate marketing thing is that they won’t even know you’re making money.
They just so happen to click on your link (thanks to your awesome review) and get the book which they were planning to buy in the first place.
Everyone Buys Books
I am a fan of actual books. I do purchase some great reads on a tablet every now and then, but I’d rather have something to hold. That’s just me though.
Anyways, what I’m really trying to say here, is that people are buying more and more books online. Whether it be a hardcover or digital copy, more and more people are just getting them online.
I just recently got my other half’s books for college online and even Universities are directing students to sites like Amazon.com to purchase their textbooks.
Get Out There and Make Some Money!
I hope this post has helped you in more than just one way. Doing book reviews is a great way to make money and I can promise you that it will beat your current job. Whether it be salary wise or just enjoyment.
If you want to learn more about making money online through affiliate marketing, you can do just that at a site called WealthyAffiliate.com.
That is the same place that got me started in my online career and it is also the same place that taught me how to make money doing product reviews.
Think you got what it takes to be the next book review site? Get started today and who knows, you too might become a work from home success story. To whatever you do in life, make it count. Cheers!

I am really interested about writing book reviews, but I’m concerned about copyright infringement. Since it is a review it’s technically fair use, correct?
When you do a review, you’re really giving your opinion. If you don’t like something, why will it be a problem? Of course the owners of these products won’t like it, but they will understand.
